History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]

BB, even if you don't like or agree, you are going to have to realize Israel is there to stay and it must be accepted by others in the region because there isn't anything anyone can do to change it. It's reality. Israel is not going away.

He makes a good point about the new world. What did the white men do, when they settled here? They took all the land from the natives, just like the Israelis did with the Palestinians. That's why I think, the Palestinians will get something like what the Native Americans got from the US govt, once they settle down some. As long as they are fighting all the time, they won't get anything at all. Look at the history of the US, and other places. Fighting gets you nowhere.

Since they have no power, virtually, it would be ultimately stupid for them to continue fighting. They need to do what the native americans did. It's time to make treaties and get on with life.

It didn't do much to change the regime.

It was when the Romans crushed Jerusalem and the Jews all fled. They left the city. Their temple was ruined by the Romans, their treasures stolen. That's why I have no problem with Israel. Shouldn't this place be preserved as a symbol of Jewish culture? The Jewish culture has a right to revival in the area.

Iraqis have their own country.

Seanus, it's a vested interest involving many countries who have an interest in security.

Saddam did invade Kuwait, Seanus. That's a breech of security.

News / Crucifixes to stay in Polish schools [364]

We can admit, many places around the world have an interest in that area because of the oil. Not just the US, but countries busy developing their economies as well...There was this fear that Saddam would destablize the entire region.

Iran and Iraq were both fighting each other, as you know. They should all settle down and stop fighting. That would help tremendously. Iran should devote itself to Allah's desire for world peace. No one is going to mess with a peaceful nation.

And no Russian weapon can ever be found anywhere in all of Iran. Yes, it's all America, isn't it?

Maybe the crucifixes need to stay in the schools to remind you of key Christian points, like Peace, Love, Forgiveness, Suffering, Mercy...eh, Seanus?

Afghanistan hasn't raged any wars, just churns out Al Qaedians instead.

Yes, it's Russian money that's being poured into that country.


I brought it up since Christmas is near and this thread is about religion in schools. It's time to start pondering and reflecting on the mysteries of the Messiah. The message, and what it really means. What is the relevance to our modern world?

It should be problematic to many people.

I already discussed the thread. It's time to start reflecting, Seanus.

Seanus, I can reflect and share with others.

History / What British unit liberated Poland in 1945?? [445]


It's like that in the US, too. That's why we have "Arab Americans", "African Americans", "Native Americans", "Latinos" "Asian Americans", to name some. Everyone is defined by ethnicity but identifies with the American nation.

Life / Ripped Off in Poland? - Expose here: [185]


Nevermind ham. There's only ONE kind of pencil to buy in the US. It's Dixon Ticonderoga the black ones, if you don't buy them, the lead will keep breaking inside the pencil that's made mostly of cheap saw dust so that everytime you sharpen it, the lead breaks and you have to keep sharpening until it's gone. So, don't buy those. Only buy the Dixons.

News / The "Arbeit Macht Frei" sign theft from Oswiecim, Poland [240]

It's really weird someone would steal that particular sign. Why would they? It's just an odd thing for someone to take. Is the sign involved in a controversy in Poland?

News / The "Arbeit Macht Frei" sign theft from Oswiecim, Poland [240]


They can sell it but it might be difficult to sell it without getting caught. You can't exactly auction it off after stealing it...not publically, anyway. It would be like someone taking the Statue of Liberty and auctioning it off.

It sounds like an inside job.
It just seems like a strange thing to have happen because of it's size and the way it's attached to the fence.

I wonder if it's already in someone's basement? If it is, good luck finding it.


Try Amazon :)

It's not good. What will they do if they can't find it? Everybody expects to see the "Arbeit Macht Frei" gate, it is a symbol.

News / The "Arbeit Macht Frei" sign theft from Oswiecim, Poland [240]


Why would it deserve to be removed? Seanus, I can't believe you would support such a defacement of history. It's kind of like when they gauged the eyes out of ancient statues.

News / The "Arbeit Macht Frei" sign theft from Oswiecim, Poland [240]

Seanus, the sign was a cruel irony. Wasn't in it in the Polish part of the large labor camp? The train was in the other part?

It's not about semeticism.

I thought it was there because, at first, people could earn their freedom through work, and that changed...

It wasn't a death camp, originally. Seanus, you should read back through the thread...

News / The "Arbeit Macht Frei" sign theft from Oswiecim, Poland [240]

They built the gate when it was still a labor camp. Maybe they were planning to release people after hard labor but things went from bad to worse.

I didn't think about that. They can replace it with a replica. They should have had the replica on it in the first place, maybe?

News / WHY DOES POLAND BUY GAS FROM RUSSIA? [105]


Well, it might have something to do with the fact that Russia is so damn big, the biggest country in the world, in fact, and thus, have a lot of natural resources like N.G. They sell it because they have a surplus. Many countries buy it.

News / The "Arbeit Macht Frei" sign theft from Oswiecim, Poland [240]

Wouldn't it be something if they did, in fact, forget to remove the replica and the people who stole it think they have the real thing when it isn't?

Scrappy, are you sure it's a prank?
